If the WCC adds anyone, it would be Pacific. Creates a four-team Bay Area presence with two pairs of travel partners. Pepperdine and LMU a pair, Gonzaga and Portland a pair, and that leaves BYU/USD to pair off.

A lot has changed over the past almost 6 months since that Oct 7 post was made.

As for Air Force now, things have changed because of the CUSA/MWC merger discussions. The whole plan would be for Air Force to only leave if it were to the Big East for football. for other sports, they'd have the WAC to fall back to as a lock if they were passed over by the MVC or the WCC. Regardless, they'd have a home right away.

I assume this was done because they wanted an even number of schools (10) for scheduling. Now none of us anticipate BYU staying for very long. Does anyone else think this means that down the road they'll be adding Seattle as a replacement?

I think BYU could be there for a bit. Sure, big 12 would take them, but that means Louisville as well for #12. And that means another $20 million payout to the Big East. Ouch. With the new B12 contract taking shape, the move to 12 might take more time...mostly because it's not a lock that they'll want to help with a $20 million exit fee for UL.

Of course, if Texas leaves the Big 12 to join the NFC East, then there will be an open spot.
